yuenflai Posted July 8, 2009 at 10:13 AM Report Posted July 8, 2009 at 10:13 AM Hi guys, Do anyone knows what the below idiom means? I found this on ecpod website... http://www.ecpod.com/#ecce1CE0rid:8255 Quote
roddy Posted July 8, 2009 at 10:19 AM Report Posted July 8, 2009 at 10:19 AM Yes, it's a Tang dynasty idiom meaning "To attempt to place links to the website you work for on the Internet, but to betray your true intent by registering with an email address from that website, while also showing a fuzzy understanding of the difference between an idiom and a tongue twister."

yuenflai Posted July 8, 2009 at 11:14 AM Author Report Posted July 8, 2009 at 11:14 AM I never hide this and if you asked me, i would have told you "yes, i work for this website".. and i have nothing to hide since i use the website email address anyway. I saw this picture posted by someone on my site and i really wonder what it means. What is the problem of posting it on this chinese learning forum and get someone to help explain to me, since there is not even pinyin on it? Quote

muyongshi Posted July 8, 2009 at 02:34 PM Report Posted July 8, 2009 at 02:34 PM I do just want to add, that the translation is irrelevant and doesn't make "sense" [yeah you can make sentences with the words but it's not supposed to mean much]. It's a tongue twister. Just like sally finds shells by the seashore. Who the hell is sally? Why do we care where she is or what she found there? Point made.... shutting up Quote
yuenflai Posted July 8, 2009 at 02:50 PM Author Report Posted July 8, 2009 at 02:50 PM Thanks for translating for me.. hmmm, its hard for me to understand it actually... maybe you are right... not easy to translate a tongue twister. Quote
